Name two laws protect people against discrimination?

Race Relations Act 1976 (RRA)

Employers cannot discriminate on the grounds of race, colour or nationality (this also applies to citizenship, ethnicity and national origin). An amendment to the Race Relations Act in 2000 requires public authorities prove they do not discriminate, even if their functions are carried out by a private business.

The Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003

It's illegal for employers to discriminate on the grounds of an individual's religion or beliefs. Under these regulations, staff must be given the right to request annual leave to coincide with religious festivals.
